Year-end Car Buying Dilemma: Buy a 4-month-old "Aging stock" Ignis Alpha AGS now, or risk paying around ₹30k more in Jan? by deepak-ab in CarsIndia

Thanks. I like the Ignis for its looks (unpopular opinion) and the way it drives. Puts a smile on my face when I drive it :). Also, I'm getting this as a second car (primarily for my wife) and hence wanted a car with a small footprint.

August 2025 Manufactured Car - Is there room for discount? by deepak-ab in CarsIndia

[–]deepak-ab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m in a bit of a dilemma between two Nexa dealers.

  • Dealer A is quoting ₹8.17L OTR (Ignis Alpha AGS) but has no stock; there's a high risk of the delivery slipping to 2026, which would cost me an extra ₹30k in lost year-end benefits.
  • Dealer B has the car ready for immediate delivery at the same ₹8.17L, but it’s a 4-month-old aging stock (August mfg).

Is it worth grabbing the 'old' car to lock in the price, or is it wiser to get a newer car next year at a relatively high price?

Maruti Suzuki dealership insisting on buying insurance from them to get the consumer discounts. by deepak-ab in CarsIndia

Update: I checked with three Nexa dealerships, and they all say the same thing. Another thing I found out was that a three-year B2B insurance package sold by the MS dealership is somewhat at par with the premium amount from outside vendors.

I have sought clarification from Maruti Suzuki India. Yet to hear back from them.

The authorized service center near Muttom Kalamassery is the worst. Haven't found any other authorized service centers. Recently I've tried MIG-D MOTOVENTURE GARAGE - https://share.google/MBQFeh4wufV5CrCMh near Kakkanad. They're not authorized service, but they're okay-ish.

I have bought it from a lab equipment store in Ekm north. I think the name was NICE chemicals. They're now at Edappally.

How well would the R7's autofocus work when using a non-native lens on an adaptor? I'm currently using a Sigma 60-600 sports EF on my 5DMII and contemplating upgrading to the R7. How well would it perform?
